	Refs:	Tono et al.: A Frequency Dictionary of Japanese - Entry #18 えー, ええ interj. eh?, what?; well, yes • あの人は、えー、ちょっと名前が思い出せません。 — That man is . . . , well I cannot remember his name. • ええ、そうです。 — Right.
	Comments:	Doing some fiddling, including keeping えー visible and adding a couple of notes. I'll approve to shorten our queue and reopen.

	Comments:	But if you look at results for "ええ、そう" vs "えー、そう" on Twitter or even Google Booksit becomes clear that ええ means "yes" and えー means "what" and there's essentially no overlapping.

	Refs:	中辞典 has 5 senses for ええ. I'll quote the whole entry: 1 《肯定･承諾》 yes; 《口語》 yeah; uh-huh ¶ええ, いいですよ. Yeah, that's OK. 2 《ためらい》 Well …; Ah …; 〈ええと〉 Let me see …; Let's see … ¶ええ, 2 千円ぐらいだったと思います. Let's see …. It was about \2,000, I think. 3 《いら立ち･怒り》 Hey!; 〈ええっ, えい〉 What! ¶ええ, ほっといてくれ. Hey! Get off my back! 4 《不審･驚き》 No!; Not really!; You don't say! ¶ええ, 昨日火事があったんですって? No! You say there was a fire yesterday? 5 《疑問》 What?; Really? ¶ええ, その話は本当ですか? What? Is that true?
	Comments:	If 中辞典 is correct, it probably shouldn't be split.

	Comments:	I suggest ええ (no additional forms) 1) yes 2) good and another entry with the remaining senses えー, えーっ、えーー[sK], ええ - with ええ possibly as [sK] (we could also maybe merge in えっ)

	Comments:	中辞典 and other JEs have all these senses for ええ. I can't see a simple split working. Maybe this will work.

	Comments:	This should maybe be split into 2 entries? Is "yes" ever written as えー? And is the surprised interjection (which isn't really adequately covered by the current glosses) ever spelled ええ? I don't think they are. (we should also include readings like えーー and えーっ , though not for "yes")
